Welcome
to the Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology and
Behavior at KentStateUniversity.
Our laboratory primarily studies how oxytocin and vasopressin contribute to
the neural regulation of behavior

Oxytocin
and vasopressin are evolutionarily ancient neuropeptides that are highly
conserved across phyla. Both have been implicated in the regulation of
behaviors such as maternal behavior, aggression, and social recognition. We
use a variety of behavioral, neuroanatomical, and molecular techniques to
explore their roles in the regulation of behavior.
